[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought the AAP program is for kids who are academically advanced.  So why should a kid who as PP puts it shows no inclination "towards anything academic" be admitted to the program?

You love him (as we all do our kids), he just wants to have fun (as most kids do), and has a high WISC score, so he is intelligent.  Does this describe what the FCPS considers to be AAP?   I'd say get a copy of the GBRS - look at the things they ask about there and be [u]honest[/u].  Does he think big thoughts, spend alot of time focusing on one project, give example of time he astonished you with his questions or observations - a few things they are looking for that I can recall off top of my head.

it's GT/AAP program - for either GT or AA kids. or is it for both GT [b]and [/b]AA kids?[/quote]

having just read the FCPS website on AAP I think you are right - it is for gifted and talented and academically advanced students.  Still the admittees are supposed to be "highly able learners ."  In addition to high scores on the applicable written tests, I would hope admittnce is based on things like completing your homework, getting good grades, not being disruptive etc.  [/quote]
